Chapter 72 Unexpected
The ghost in the portal cried and howled, and the wind and clouds surged, and finally spit him out rudely. The alchemist collapsed to the ground and gasped. There is a problem with her magic control, a big problem. For a moment, he even thought that he would either be trapped in the turbulence of time and space or be transported to the 18th floor of hell.
The female mage fell with him when she fell out. They rolled a few times on the gravel-filled beach until they hit a huge wet and cold falling stone. He felt that his back and palms had been scratched by sharp stones, and the pain was hot. He took a deep breath and was about to speak when he was blocked by Rosie:
"Don't talk to me, Leo," she said as she got up from his arms, "I know what I should do. I'm not a child anymore. Let's wait until you leave here. I'll take care of it then.
She knew that there was nothing he could do about her. At this point, his anger and chagrin are all useless. He sighed, grabbed Rosie's outstretched hand and stood up. Of course I will punish you." He said without threat, "Wait."
"No problem." She said with a smile.
Like a big mouth of blood, the portal with a milky halo kept spitting them out one by one. Everyone was embarrassed, but fortunately they no longer had to conquer the steep cliffs.
"It's convenient to have a mage." The killer jumped to the ground three meters above the ground and sighed vaguely at the irregular whirlpool. If I had known this, why should I do this? It's really nerve-wracking." He looked at the women moaning all over the ground. I have to admire your popularity as a woman.
Men try to lift up the ladies as gentlemanly as possible. There is not much time left for them. Above the cliff, the bells are connected, dense as raindrops, and the sound of hail-like horns, as if even the ground under your feet is shaking. Don't be daze. Stand up. We have to keep going." They said, pulling up the delicate lady.
Li Ou stamped his feet. Under the moonlight, they are a large shoal with strange rocks. Looking around, the black water-like waves surged in, patting the reefs and rolling up the waves, and their clothes soon became wet and uncomfortable. Some pieces of wood, rags and boxes were washed up on the beach, as if they were the scene of the sea disaster.
"Where are we going next?" He asked.
The killer took a look at them and said, "This way." He gestured to them to catch up quickly. Quiet, don't talk." He led them into the deep shadow at the bottom of the cliff, walked about 50 meters, and walked around a gorge corner. He saw a charred silent giant ship in front of him in the hazy moonlight. She leaned and half of it sank into the water.
"Don't tell us that it is the boat we are going to take."
"I don't have the ability to drive the ghost ship." The killer joked, but the string that made Leo's slightly relaxed tighten again. The sea is full of crises, and the Leos and their sea beasts are full of teeth and claws. Our ship is hidden behind it. It's not as big as it, but I promise to be strong enough to beat the wind and waves, wind and rain.
"What boat are you looking for?"
"What other ships dare to go to sea now?" The killer asked himself. Only smuggled ships.
No matter what kind of boat they have, it's good to get out of here. The cold sea slapped their ankles and gradually rose to their legs. The sea is getting colder and colder than the knees. The tide is rising. He suddenly realized. Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up." He urged loudly, and the waves came one after another and swallowed up his voice. Killer, how far is it?"
"It's right in front."
The women were pulled high by the knights, and the waves roared at their feet, as if they saw the lion with its prey slipping from their mouths shouting angrily. The women patted their chests with lingering heart, and then lined up on the slippery stone to move forward. A dangerous path hewn on the cliff spread forward from their feet.
"Be careful, I'd rather slow down." The killer leads the way.
Everyone becomes cautious. Their boots were slipping, and they reached out and touched the dense shells. Sharp stones like uneven teeth poked their heads out of the cliff, making the originally rugged path more difficult to move forward. In the end, they almost finished walking with both hands and feet.
A man is waiting in a small boat in the shadow behind a huge rock that looks like a giant statue. The killer went up, and for a short moment, Li Ou saw his hand make some kind of gesture. Through the shadow of the night, the other party could not see his behavior. Leo believes that he has changed another look. Oswell?" He even changed his voice.
"Haig?" The man's skeleton is thick, but he is a hunchback, which looks particularly pitiful from a distance. However, when he approached and looked at the sitting on the oar, his face was full of fierceness, with a scar across his forehead and a sharp knife at his feet. Yes, it's you. You bring so many people, and there are so many thin and tender women..."
"...they are all devils..."
"We have even transported the demons in nine layers of hell. Are you afraid of them?" The hunchback man sneered disdain. Come in, I'd like to see how terrible you are. Hurry up, we're going to be late. And... double the price, the head said."
The price is naturally not a problem. After they got on the boat safely, the boat was already full. You men, grab the oars around you, and I can't row this boat alone. Damn, what's going on?" He scolded and grinning. The oars were rowed into the water, with slight waves, and staggered towards the dark ocean in the waves. What's ahead? Everyone is not sure.
As the oars beat firmly, slowly and rhythmically, they go further and further, passing through sunken ships, broken masts, charred hulls and split sails. The oars were wrapped in cloth, and the boat made almost no sound. The mist rose on the sea, and the lighthouse on the cliff faintly flashed behind them. The fog became thicker and thicker, the bells slowly faded, and finally the lights in the city disappeared, and a flat boat went deep into the ocean. There is only dark water, floating fog and silent partners left in the world, "How far is it?" Li Ou asked.
"It's not far." The boatman said, "You will be free soon." His face was smiling, which was creepy, and he couldn't help but have the impulse to jump off the boat and escape. However, there is a vast sea around them, and they have nowhere to escape.
Li Ou grabbed the killer and roared in his ear, "What on earth are you talking about?"
"You are escaped prisoners..."
"...Do you look like us?" No wonder the man said that. But where do they look like? Fully armed, dragging the family with their mouth. There are both white devils and Valerias. I think we are a group of rebels and pagans.
"They don't believe that woman." The killer said, "Don't think too much, alchemist. Does this make any sense? Everything is just an excuse. Everyone knows it. We pay and they do things. This is the truth of the world. If they were really law-abiding citizens, they would not make such a living.
"Is it just like you?" Leo looked behind the sunken ship, where there was a hazy shadow. In the faint dawn, he could not confirm that it was an island or something else. I didn't pay you." He turned his head and said.
"Nizelle paid for you." The killer said, suddenly turning his head and looking at Namelia wrapped in the cloak. And your sister, miss. She is safe. Nigel saved her. She is doing well.
"Is this true?"
"It's true. As long as you live, you will definitely see her."
When the eastern sky reflected the first dawn and brightened, they finally found a ghostly shape in the dark: it seemed that a merchant ship, whose sails had been put away and only relied on a row of wooden oars to keep moving at a low speed. After approaching, she saw that the bow of the ship was a male mermaid wearing a golden crown and playing the giant horn of sea shellfish. With an order in the fog, the merchant ship came to the boat.
"A pirate ship." Miss Bachelor's comment.
"Miss, who is more reliable than pirates and sea monsters?" The boatman named Oswell smiled gloomyly and said, "At least we are all flesh and blood, at least we recognize gold coins as good things. They don't think so."
The killer shrugged his shoulders, "They are more trustworthy than that woman. They don't know magic." He whistled happily, and cheerful laughter drowned in the waves. The little bird sings loudly, turns into a clown and is busy with work; the world says that I am stupid, and I laugh at them without eyes.
After the big ship was close, a rope ladder was lowered along the railing, and the boatman threw away the oars. Go up and go up in turn. He urged, "It's easier to climb the rope ladder than to climb the cliff. Hurry up."
They went to the deck one by one, and a one-eyed one-eyed dragon pointed in the direction of the harbor. Where did you make it all? He was wearing a leather coat, a machete around his waist, and a boat-shaped black hat diagonally on his head. Leo thinks he is the captain of this ship. He looked at the direction of the city and gloated, "Tut, it's so beautiful."
Leo has no idea what happened. He turned his head and saw the flame in the sky: the whole city turned into a sea of fire, like Pompeidecar, or the city of thousands of lakes. The people who escaped from there were frightened. They looked there, full of fear and panic. He can swear that they have nothing to do with it.
"All right." The captain said, "You paid. What the hell, just burn it. I've had enough of that place." He glanced at them with the only remaining eye. But, damn it. What kind of guests have I found..."
"...the guest who kills you." A man's cold and ruthless voice came from the void.
Li Ou looked up. A portal beating with golden lightning appeared above their heads, shining with dazzling familiar light and expanding irregularly. A familiar figure of an alchemist appeared in the void. She wore a long black skirt, her snow-white skin was extremely eye-catching, and the blood that had not been wiped off the corners of her mouth was even more dazzling.
